The St. Lawrence Seaway is a massive system of locks, canals and channels that link the great lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. In essence, it’s a trade route that helped anchor Ontario and Quebec as the economic powerhouses they are now. The seaway became open for commercial use in 1959, costing a total of $470 million dollars – most of which was funded by the federal government. From Montreal to Lake Erie, the creation of the route was a serious undertaking. The National Research Council made

The new way to be ladylike. Born in 1878, Florence Nightingale Graham learned about business at her father’s side whenever they rode in their horse-drawn vegetable cart from Woodbridge, Ontario, to Toronto’s St. Lawrence Market. Life was tough; the market trade earned little and, after her mother died young, Florence routinely went to bed hungry, shivering in the cold. She vowed to reverse her fortunes later in life. At the turn of the century, she made her way to New York and worked as one of

The regional currency. Sometimes the fastest path to innovation comes in casting aside played-out assumptions. Robert Mundell of Kingston, Ontario, was one for discarding outdated thinking to get at something new: if states within countries could share the same currency, he thought, what stopped countries within regions from doing the same? Some speculate that his being from Canada—a country not only made up of many disparate parts but also whose economic welfare had been tied to the fortunes of

The un-counterfeitable dollar. Why are American dollar bills green? The answer came from McGill University in Montreal in 1861. That year, the United States Congress authorized production of $50 million in demand notes, largely to cover the federal government’s burgeoning war expenses. The next year, Thomas Sterry Hunt - an American chemist working for the Canadian Geological Survey at McGill - came up with the idea of using chromium ses quioxide for banknote ink. Hunt discovered that, when used

The oil sands are a significant driver of Canada’s economy. As such, researchers are continuously striving to improve the industry, particularly in the area of environmental sustainability.

In fact, only one in five graduate with the prerequisites to pursue engineering.* This year, Canadians are witnessing a historic milestone as our nation turns 150. It is a time to celebrate, reflect and look towards the future – what challenges will tomorrow bring, and how

“Imagine taking your cell phone from 2003 or 2004 and trying to use it today,” says Jim Bush, President of 2016 ASTech Awards Winner for Applied Technology and Innovation Evolution Engineering Inc. “You can’t text message, or surf the web, or be on conference calls. That’s what drilling technology in oil and gas was like, compared to what we can do now.” This technology advancement was possible due to the Calgary-based company’s innovative work with measurement-while-drilling (MWD) tools.
